Desert Prison Ministry is a private, unofficial, unestablished, unincorporated, unrecognized Catholic prison ministry conducted by Dr. Ken Craven, poustinik.
My purpose is providing succor, counseling, friendship, and support to prisoners in any prison via mail and personal visits, mentoring, and group meetings.
I am a Benedictine Oblate and am currently mentoring two groups at Riverbend Maximum Security Prison in Nashville, TN, under the guidance of Chaplain Jeannie Alexander and Father Donald Raila, O.S.B., Oblate Director, St. Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, PA.
The purpose of this blog is to solicit support: prayers, stamps, money orders, and the contribution of books that can be sent to prisoners. Books may be Bibles, prayerbooks, classic literature, or prison literature.
I will list the needs I have on this site. If you are willing to assist me with a specific need, please contact me at:
